Warrior General Games

I was scouting today and I came across the 4th and 1 attempt...

Down by 17, 21 minutes into the game and on their own 44 yard line. So this is a suitable situation but just outside FG range within the final minutes of the game isn't?

What would allow this to happen in the tactics? Is it trailing big? If so it might be a good idea to set it to 7 or even lower...amirite?

Pretty clearly the trailing 2 TD+ 4th and short.

So this would be controlled by "short" in the distance tactics?

But!....

Hub city went for a 4th and 1 inside my 5 the other day and changed the entire game momentum as they scored a td rather than a fg.

In our latest game we refused to go for it on 4th & 2 trailing by 10 or so while the team that was ahead happily went for it several times. Seems odd.

this 4th down stuff seems like it can be total game changing and should be controlled by teams….idk, pros and cons i guess

Lol this would be a different game if teams could go for it on 4th and 2-

In the tactics, under trailing, it has this section. 4th quarter, 4th down, within 3 points and 2 min left. Does the sim actually go for it in this situation? It has settings for up to 4th and very long but I can't remember ever seeing my team go for it in that situation.

nah i'm pretty sure your team has fired every trailing output in the tactics by now.

AGD2D kicking the game tying FG instead of going for it on 4th and inches

I've seen Air Raid go for it on 4th and Goal from the 1 instead of kicking a FG when leading before. There's something else that overrides a FG sometimes when you're really, really close to the endzone methinks.

4th quarter, OPP 20, ahead by 16, 4th and 1. Going for it...
